That being said, I have saved $305.78 year to date, and I actually had my biggest single transaction savings in September! At CVS, I used a combination of Extra Care coupons and manufacturer's coupons to save $38.44! That was 48% of the total of my purchase. $10 was a manufacturers coupon from a newspaper flyer for my allergy meds.
So, I am going to try to get my head back in the game and use my coupons. My stock pile is getting pretty low after the summer, so it's time to really work the coupons and sales again.
Two new things I have just started to explore more are Target Cartwheel and the new Walmart Savings Catcher program. I have used the Target Red Card for awhile, and it seems to be adding up ok, but the Walmart card I just started. I have $1.78 on the card for buying a couple of single serving bottles of tea that were on a pretty good sale elsewhere. I really hate going to Walmart, but I had the good trip when I bought a bunch of sale items, so I might even do better if I work it with sales, coupons and the competitors.
So, it's time to really work at it and see if I can't really see some great savings.
I will do my best to start posting more again as well!
Happy savings! Dee
